Intro

There are many ways to take minutes at the General Assembly. Some people prefer to type them up using a note taking application, some prefer to put them directly into a Google Document.

Our ultimate goal must be to have minutes contained directly within the wiki itself. This ensures that minutes will be backed up, that there will be a log of who made edits, and allows us to have just one place to search.

For each set of minutes that you are ready to put in the wiki, fill in the form below and click the "Create Page" button. Be sure to fill in the information with @@s on the resulting page, and then cut and paste your minutes directly into the last section of your new page and hit save.

For an example of how a Minutes page looks review the GA Minutes page

After posting minutes, please create a link from the GA Minutes page.
